K & K Consulting Services Inc. BETA Basic Emergency Travel Assistance www.betins.com
The Premise Behind BETA While our private domestic health insurance policies usually provide us with international* coverage, they do not provide an emergency support system for people traveling abroad. BETA is that emergency support system. It can be called an international supplement to a domestic health insurance policy. * Check with your insurance carrier.
Foreign Travel Situation If, while traveling in Mexico at 3 a.m., on a Sunday morning you wake up with severe stomach pain, where will you get help? Will you be able to arrange for a physician or hospital? What if your condition requires a medical evacuation?
BETA – The Issue Most people travel abroad without knowing how to access qualified physicians or medical facilities. In the face of a major accident or illness, they are unprepared financially or psychologically to deal with the crisis.
With BETA Coverage Scenario 1: Traveling in Mexico, awakening with stomach pain…. We immediately verify coverage and arrange for an emergency physician visit. If appropriate medical facilities are available, we make those arrangements, if not, we arrange an emergency medical evacuation. If necessary, we contact your personal physician and obtain your medical records. We contact close family members to update them on your situation.
The Outcome…. By Monday morning at 9 a.m., you are resting comfortably and deciding what changes, if any, are needed in your travel plans.
